No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

“Kike”
Black people do not have the right to use slurs against other groups, White, Jewish or otherwise. They only really have a right to "their" slurs when the recipient is ok with it.
This person is just hateful and is using whatever justification they can to keep being hateful.
Try to not be so cryptic next time. Just put words you don't like in the quotation marks so it is clear these are not your words.
Neurodivergence doesn’t cause assholish behavior. Even something like narcissistic personality disorder doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an asshole; and many can and do learn to be better.
So while she may be neurodivergent, and may have a mental illness (the two are not the same,); she’s also just an asshole.
agreed
It sounds like a person with an aura for drama. Cut her out of your kids life, if she doesn't bring peace and caring for her friend? Why have her around?
It’s just the way I am, I’m neurodivergent with mental illness
That’s… idiotic and childish. I mean, it’s a kid, so the childish part makes sense.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Even if she’s borderline, that doesn’t mean she’s an incurable asshole.
Edit: id add that nobody can diagnose someone online. It takes a thorough evaluation. Gun to my head, I’d say borderline but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
She did suspect herself to have bipolar disorder but then said the symptoms didn’t seem accurate, borderline may be correct but I’m clearly no doctor.
I perhaps should add she can’t seem to admit her mistakes or being wrong, she thinks she’s better than others and views herself to be “me against the world”/“us against the world (with her other friend Anabel)” /“surrounded by idiots/useless people”.
She should go see a professional counsellor, not self-diagnose and use it as an excuse. Seems like she’s mostly lonely and attention-seeking from this side of the Internet.
What's the K-word?
EDIT: To answer my own question, I think they mean "kike" which supposedly is an antisemitic slur directed at jewish people. I've never even heard that term before.
Instantly knew what OP meant.
Gods. I feel older every single day.
I believe it's in American history X. But yeah, not overly common. When I saw K-word, I was thinking ki*e or Karen haha.
I’ve never heard the word either until I misspelled “like” on a post and someone told me to edit it because I said a slur
Suddenly that old Miyazaki classic is a lot less charming.
Really depends on whether or not you think adolescence is a mental illness or just a really nasty period (pun semi-intended) to live through. Sounds like Ashlyn has additional emotional issues that could be rooted in being a black girl in a white world, or having a demanding parent, or whatever. She needs help from a knowledgeable adult. Taking it out on Lena is not going to help either of them. Maybe ask Lena what she feels about it, if she knows what the root problem is, and if she wants to continue the friendship. It might make a difference to Lena to know you are there for her.
Thank you! Lena doesn’t know the problem, she told me Ashlyn either says it’s the way she is and no one can change it, or that they deserve it because she’s better.
Not sure if it’s mental illness but she certainly needs a counselor.
